Fresh fruit + extra fluid

Lowest likely gas, urgency, residue and irritation.

Prunes are very high in sorbitol — which is why they loosen output. For gentle help with motility, fresh mandarin or grapes plus extra fluid is less likely to overshoot.

Combined load for these items is 6.0 vs 6.6 for prunes — about 0.5 points lower.

Scores are modelled estimates, not medical advice. Everyone's gut is different, and tolerance changes over time. Reintroduce foods one at a time, and follow your own medical team's advice.
